Re: would it make a dffierence to u ..
Why so? If the rishta is the oldest of teh family then it makes sense that he's the only one whose married.
And the more $$ that's spent....imagine losing your job, thats another extra problem..
Why you are assuming that you have to invite them for all of the above occasion ? You are the one who will be invited and save on grocery bill. :D
If you are jobless then it is a boon to have a big family. If you spend a week @ a time at each home they will not mind and you can live like that for months looking for a job. Some get so used to it that they never find a job and live like that for all their lives.
